Is your favorite restaurant also one of the best in Washington?

Some of the best food can be found at local hotspots, mom-and-pop shops and holes in the wall, not just in popular chains and big-name restaurants. Eateries that serve incredible meals and provide fantastic service in a unique environment that highlight what makes the establishment stand out from the rest.

Foodie Haven compiled a list of the "best restaurant" in every state, the popular spots that "locals can't stop talking about and visitors can't wait to try" that offer memorable meals away from "cookie-cutter chains."

The top choice for Washington is The Whale Wins, a Seattle eatery offering fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables and wood-fired dishes. The Whale Wins, which has a Google rating of 4.4 stars and around 650 reviews, is located at 3506 Stone Way N.

Here's what the site had to say about this popular restaurant:

"Seafood lovers, The Whale Wins in Seattle is your perfect spot. Overlooking Puget Sound, this charming eatery serves fresh, locally caught seafood, including the legendary clam chowder. With its flavors that transport you to the heart of the Pacific Northwest, it's a gem you can't miss."
